How could a blended Scotch stem from one single cask, unless it had been blended along the path and further ‘marriaged’ for a few years? This one’s also called ‘From Miles Away’, I suppose that’s a reference to Miles Davis? Having said, the label’s beautiful. Colour: white wine. Nose: varnish, popcorn and candyfloss plus vanilla and a little coconut, there is well some grain in there. With water: light, with a little soot.
Mouth (neat): a feeling of Cuban rum and smoked maize, not unpleasant, just unusual. With water: some minerals and a little apple juice, with a touch of smoke. Finish: medium, a little grassier. Comments: perhaps not a bitches’ brew (ha-ha) but still a very fair drop that would defeat most commercial blends. I feel I should add that the price is extremely fair.
